~~Stark Tower~~
Blue eyes pop up suddenly and look over his contraption, the Tesseract in the middle, as he smiles. Loki will be happy with this, the blue-eyed Doctor Selvig looks over the top of Stark Tower out on New York, Loki will be bringing them to a new era, and era humans need to be in.

~*Steve*~
Steve stopped one of the crew in the halls of the Helicarrier.

"Where is Natasha?" He asks kindly with a charming smile towards the male crew.

"She is in the medical day room with The Hawkeye, Mr. Captain America, Sir." The crewman replied quickly, Steve claps him on the shoulder as he walks by him.

"Thank you Son."

"My pleasure Mr. Captain America Sir." Steve continues his journey, as he gets to the med bay he looks into the small windows trying to spot Natasha's red hair. Finding it he strides into the only open door in the hallway.

"Time to go." He says when he realizes he has her attention.

"Go where?" Natasha asks as she stands.

"I'll tell you on the way, can you fly one of those jets?" Steve says as he takes a step back planning on letting Natasha go before him.

"I can," Clint Barton says as he walks out of the bathroom that was at the back of the room. Steve cuts a look at Natasha who nods confirming Clint was on their side now.

"Got a suit?" Steve asks Clint

"Yeah."

"Then suit up."

~~No POV~~

A loud crack of thunder rolls as lightning strikes in the middle of a field in nowhere America, taking hold of the hammer that absorbed the lighting Thor, one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and demigod and crown prince of Asgard, hold Mjolnir aloft into the sky as thunder rolls across the sky once again. Thor takes the unbreakable leather strap at the end of Mjolnir's handle and starts to spin it, creating the wind next to him, bending at the knees once he has it up to speed Thor thrusts Mjolnir into the sky taking hold of the handle and letting it carry him into the now cloudy gray skies.

Steve grabs his helmet and shield, strapping the shield to his back while clipping his helmet onto his face, Steve rolls his shoulders and pops his neck and upper back.

In the labs of the Helicarrier Tony adjusts his welding sunglasses as he makes an adjustment to his helmet, with another small adjustment the eyes of his mask light up with the power of his arc reactor, a grin spreads across Tony's face as he puts his tools away and looks to where Rachel's suit should have been, seeing some of her extra weapons he loses his smirk and gathers the extra weapons placing them in different compartments Tony had built into this model for that very reason. Tony looks up as he places the last of them away glaring at the wall towards New York, 'I'm coming for you Little Sister, and after that, I get rights to knocking Loki on his ass!'

Natasha looks at Clint from over her shoulder as she takes her glove gauntlets from her locker and straps them on while mentally checking over her multitude of knives hidden across her body. She takes a few more knives from her locker before closing it and looking at Clint as she stores them. Clint selects tips for his arrows while putting them all together, before adjusting the configuration on his bow and watching the bottom of his quiver spinning around putting the shaft of the arrow together with the tip.

"Clint." Natasha suddenly says, causing Clint to jump a little as she broke the silence.

"Yeah?" Clint turns to look at Natasha, who looks at him for a second before lowering her eyes and shuffling her feet a second. Her nervousness blatantly obvious, though Clint would be the only person to ever see her so open.

"I-..." She sighs and shakes her head, she looks up at him again her eyes now cold and all nervousness now hidden as she hides Natasha and becomes The Black Widow. "Nothing, let's get going." She turns from Clint and walks towards the door.

"I know Nat, and I do too." Natasha stops and looks over her shoulder seeing Clint standing and making his way near her, she throws a quick true smile at him as they both leave their civilian skins in the locker room, walking out was The Black Widow and her partner Hawkeye.

Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye walk towards a Quinjet, a young SHIELD pilot sees them and moves to be in their way.

"You aren't authorized to be out here…" Steve holds up a hand as they walk past him.

"Son, just...don't."

In the bridge of the Helicarrier Director Agent Nick Fury is standing at his consoles looking out the floor to ceiling windows contemplating things as his second in command Lieutenant Agent Maria Hill walks up to him.

"Sir?"

"Agent Hill?"

"Those cards, they weren't on Agent Coulson, they were in his locker."

"They needed the push," Fury says as he holds up the cards looking at them. Outside the window, two loud screeches could be heard as Iron Man and a Quinjet takes off from the Helicarrier deck. "And they found it. Get our communications back up, whatever you have to do. I want eyes on everything." Maria nods and moves away from Fury barking orders at the crew

~~$Tony$~~
Tony looks around at his different screens in the Iron Man helmet, seeing the Quinjet in one of the feeds.

"Alright Jarvis, thrusters full force, let's get to New York." Within minutes Tony slows over his tower and sees the machine, as Dr. Selvig activates it.

"Sir, I took off the arc reactor, the device is already self-sustaining." Jarvis sounds in the helmet.

"Turn it off Selvig!" Tony shouts at the Doctor, who cackles a little with his arms spread wide in front of his machine.

"It's already too late! It can't be stopped now! He wants to show us something. A new universe." Selvig grins at his machine as Tony grows agitated.

"Okay." Tony moves his arms and aims his hand repulsors at the Tesseract and fires. The energy from his boosters shatters with a deafening crack! Selvig falls backward hitting his head on one of the air conditioning units. Down below, citizens of New York look up at Stark Tower. Iron Man stares in disbelief at the machine ... unharmed.

"The barrier is pure energy, it's unbreachable. The Mark VII is not ready to be deployed." Jarvis sounds in Tony's ear, as the man corrects himself from the backlash and goes down to the balcony where he catches Loki's eye, and the smile Loki sent his way.

"Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock, make sure Chele's extra weapons end up in Mark VII."

"Yes, sir." Tony lands different parts of the balcony come to life taking the suit off of him as he walks towards the door, proceeding to stroll through the floor to ceiling balcony doors and into the penthouse. Loki follows him step for step and into the penthouse, scepter held in his hand loosely. Tony walks down the steps and towards the bar he had installed for himself.

"Please tell me you are going to try and appeal to my humanity." Loki finally breaks the silence, his voice dripping with sarcasm, as Tony gets a cold glass and pours some scotch into it.

"Uh, actually I plan on threatening you," Tony says smirking as he takes a sip of his scotch.

"You should have left the suit on for that."

"Yeah...it's got a bit of mileage on it. And you've got the blue glowy stick of destiny. Want a drink?" Tony asks gesturing to the bar as he walks around it slowly, he discretely slips on the Mark VII bracelets, he had questions.

"Stalling won't change a thing," Loki says walking towards Tony just as slowly.

"No no! Not stalling, threatening. Where's my sister? And no to the drink? I'm having a couple." Tony says almost flippantly as he downs his scotch before reaching over and refilling it.

"She is not your sister!" Loki shouts gripping his scepter tightly as he fought his temper. "The Chitauri are coming, nothing will stop it. What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers," Tony says confidently, even as Loki sends him a confused look as Tony rolls his eyes and waves his free hand in the air taking a sip of scotch. "It's what we call ourselves, 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' like a team of sorts." Loki grins and nods a couple of time.

"Yes, I've met them." Tony looks over Loki's shoulder and sees the black dot that made his heart soar as it silently got closer, within seconds Tony had a hard time keeping the smile off his face as his sister The Iron Panther lands on the balcony and quietly makes her way in.

"I'll admit we have an issue getting a bit of traction, I'll give you that." Tony finally losing the battle with his smile, though the conversation had Loki's complete attention. "But let's do a headcount. Thor, your brother, the demi-God; The Supersoldier, a living legend, who kinda lives up to the legend; A man with breathtaking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins; A brother and sister pair who grew up to be genius' with weapons, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Loki and Tony now toe to toe, with Rachel over at the arms wall, out of Loki's sight stocking up on her weapons and grabbing her own bracelets for her more upgraded suit, that Tony had insisted on keeping in the penthouse.

"That was kind of the plan," Loki says with a smirk, as he adjusts his grip on his scepter.

"Not a great plan, when they come after you, and they will come after you," Tony says keeping his eyes on Loki while tracking Rachel out of the corner of his eye. "Want to tell me what you did with Rachel?" Loki's eyes narrow as he sneers at Tony, letting the other man know he wouldn't get any answers from the of crazed demi-God.

"I have an army," Loki says completely ignoring Tony's question.

"We have a Hulk." Tony says shrugging with a grin to Loki, pissing the demi-God off more as he seems to throw the subject of the mortal's precious 'little sister'.

"Thought the beast had wandered off." Loki sneers.

"You're missing the point. There's no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes, and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't defend Earth, then we're damn sure going to avenge it." Tony growls out stepping closer to Loki.

"How will your friends have time for me, when they are too busy fighting you," Loki smirks as he gathers power into the scepter and goes to put it on Tony's chest with anticipation, it hits the man's chest with a clink. Both stop a second, both confused, Loki gathers his power again and tries it again and nothing happens.

"Well performance issues, everyone in three men, you know?" Tony couldn't help but crack the joke, his smirk sliding off his face as Loki takes him by the throat, tossing him towards the balcony windows, turning his back to the now stunned Rachel. "Jarvis, anytime now." Loki grabs Tony by the throat again, bringing the man close to his face with a nasty growl.

"You will fall before me!" Loki throws Tony out the window. Tony freefalls the whistling of the air drowning out Jarvis sending Mark VII out to him and Rachel's scream. A red and gold pod streaks towards Tony, lasers popping out reading the bracelets before transforming to Mark VII gripping onto Tony quickly as they near the ground. At the last possible second the suit comes alive and Tony rockets himself up the tower again. As he levels himself at the balcony he sees Loki trying to get a good grip on his sister.

"Oh, there was one more person you pissed off! His name was Phil." Tony grounds out as Loki raises the scepter at Tony, giving the distraction that Rachel needed to get up into the air with Tony. She levels her repulsors at Loki and fires at him sending the demi-God on his ass.

HI, EVERYONE! Bet you thought I was dead...NOPE! Kinda... ...well anyways, -takes a deep breath and sighs- I tried moving out...it didn't work really well...So yeah...-a cough- anyways I felt struck by inspiration...so yeah NEW CHAPTER YEAY! I'm thinking of wrapping up this story at about 20 chapters, we're only on chapter 12 so we still got a bit to go, but I plan on making this a series, so don't think this will be the last of Rachel and Tony and Loki...but I need help from Y'all, I need ideas for the title of the next book and pairs, I know I was thinking of Rachel and Loki, you know twincest, but I was also thinking of Tony and Loki (I was reading other fanfics and for some reason really liked the idea of the pairing) But I would LOVE the help Y'all, please?
Anyways I'm off, maybe to write more, or maybe to hang with friends I've been ignoring, it depends on if I hear back. But here is a new chapter, and we're getting closer to the action, HELL the whole story is 63 pages on Google Docs, and that's without the A/N and prologue.
